1 И говорилъ Господь Моисею, и сказалъ:

2 возьми Аарона и сыновъ его съ нимъ, и одежды, и елей помазанія, и тельца для жертвы за грјхъ, и двухъ овновъ, и корзину опрјсноковъ;

3 и созови все общество къ дверямъ скиніи собранія.

4 Моисей сдјлалъ такъ, какъ повелјлъ ему Господь, и собралось общество къ дверямъ скиніи собранія.

5 И сказалъ Моисей къ обществу: вотъ что повелјлъ Господь сдјлать.

6 И подозвалъ Моисей Аарона и сыновъ его, и омылъ ихъ водою.

7 И возложилъ на него хитонъ, и опоясалъ его поясомъ, и надјлъ на него верхнюю ризу, и возложилъ на него ефодъ, и опоясалъ его поясомъ ефода, и облачилъ его;

8 и возложилъ на него наперсникъ, и на наперсникъ положилъ уримъ и туммимъ.

9 И возложилъ на гоголову его кидаръ, а на кидаръ съ передней стороны его возложилъ полированную дщицу, діадиму святыни, такъ, какъ повелјлъ Господь Моисею.

10 И взялъ Моисей елей помазанія, и помазалъ скинію и все, что въ ней, и освятилъ сіе.

11 И покропилъ имъ на жертвенникъ семь разъ, и помазалъ жертвенникъ и всј принадлежности его, и умывальницу и основаніе ея, чтобы освятить ихъ.

12 И возлилъ елей помазанія на голову Аарона, и помазалъ его, чтобы освятить его.

13 Потомъ подозвалъ Моисей сыновъ Аароновыхъ и одјлъ ихъ въ хитоны, и опоясалъ ихъ поясомъ, и возложилъ на нихъ шапки, такъ, какъ повелјлъ Господь Моисею.

14 И привелъ тельца для жертвы за грјхъ, Ааронъ и сыны его возложили руки свои на голову тельца за грјхъ;

15 и закололъ Моисей, и взялъ крови, и перстомъ своимъ возложилъ иа роги жертвенника со всјхъ сторонъ, и очистилъ жертвенникъ, и остальную кровь вылилъ у основанія жертвенника, и освятилъ его, чтобы сдјлать его чистымъ.

16 И взялъ весь тукъ, который на внутренностяхъ, и перепонку печени и обј почки и тукъ ихъ, и воскурилъ Моисей на жертвенникј.

17 А тельца, и кожу его, и мясо его и нечистоту его сжегъ на огнј внј стана, такъ, какъ повелјлъ Господь Моисею.

18 И привелъ овна для всесожженія, и возложили Ааронъ и сыны его руки свои на голову овна;

19 и закололъ Моисей и покропилъ кровію на жертвенникъ со всјхъ сторонъ.

20 И разсјкъ овна на части, и сжегъ Моисей голову, и части и тукъ;

21 а внутренности и ноги вымылъ водою, и сжегъ Моисей всего овна на жертвенникј: это всесожженіе въ благоуханіе успокоенія; это огнепалимая жертва Господу, такъ, какъ повелјлъ Господь Моисею.

22 И привелъ другаго овна, овна для наполненія рукъ, и возложили Ааронъ и сыны его руки свои на голову овна;

23 и закололъ Моисей и взялъ крови его, и возложилъ на край праваго уха Ааронова и на большой палецъ правой руки его, и на большой палецъ правой ноги его.

24 Потомъ подозвалъ сыновь Аароновыхъ, и возложилъ Моисей крови на край праваго уха ихъ, и на большой палецъ правой руки ихъ, и на большой палецъ правой ноги ихъ, и покропилъ Моисей кровію на жертвенникъ со всјхъ сторонъ.

25 И взялъ тукъ, и курдюкъ, и весь тукъ, который на внутренностяхъ, и перепонку печени, и обј почки и тукъ ихъ, и правое плечо;

26 и изъ корзины съ опрјсноками, которая предъ Господомъ, взялъ одинъ опрјснокъ, и одну лепешку на елеј, и одинъ блинъ, и возложилъ на тукъ и на правое плечо.

27 И положилъ все сіе на руки Аарону и на руки сынамъ его, и принесъ сіе, потрясая предъ лицемъ Господнимъ.

28 И взялъ сіе Моисей съ рукъ ихъ, и сжегъ на жертвенникј со всесожженіемъ: это наполненіе рукъ, въ благоуханіе успокоенія; это огнепалимая жертва Господу.

29 Потомъ изъ овна наполненія рукъ Моисей взялъ грудь и принесъ ее, потрясая предъ лицемъ Господнимъ; и это была доля Моисеева, такь, какъ повелјлъ Господь Моисею.

30 И взялъ Моисей елея помазанія и крови, которая на жертвенникј, и покропилъ Аарона и одежды его, и сыновъ его, и одежды сыновъ его съ нимъ; и такимъ образомъ освятилъ Аарона и одежды его, и сыновъ его, и одежды ихъ съ нимъ.

31 И сказалъ Моисей Аарону и сынамъ его: сварите мясо у дверей скиніи собранія, и тамъ јшьте его съ хлјбомъ, который въ корзинј наполнеиія рукъ, какъ мнј повелјно и сказано: Ааронъ и сыны его должны јсть его.

32 А остатки мяса и хлјба сожгите на огнј.

33 Семь дней не отходите отъ дверей скиніи собранія, пока не исполнятся дни наполненія рукъ вашихъ; ибо Семь дней должно наполнять руки ваши.

34 Какъ сегодня было дјлано, такъ повелјлъ Господь дјлать и въ слјдующіе дни для очищенія васъ.

35 У дверей скиніи собранія будьте день и ночь въ продолженіи семи дней, и будьте на стражј Господней, и не умрете; ибо такъ мнј повелјно.

36 И исполнилъ Ааронъ и сыны его все сіе, какъ повелјлъ Господь чрезъ Моисея.

2187. 'And they ate' means communication in this manner. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'eating' as being communicated, and also being joined together, as is also evident from the Word. The injunction that Aaron, and his sons the Levites, and also the people were to eat the consecrated elements of the sacrifices in a holy place meant nothing other than the communication, conjunction, and making one's own, as stated above in 2177, at the point where Leviticus 6:16-17, is referred to. For it was celestial and spiritual food that was meant by the consecrated elements, and thus making that food their own by eating those elements. These consecrated elements were those parts of the sacrifices which were not burned on the altar but were eaten either by the priests or by the people who brought the offering, as becomes clear from very many places where the sacrifices are the subject. The consecrated elements that were to be eaten by the priests are referred to in Exodus 29:32-33; Leviticus 6:16, 26; 7:6, 15-16, 18; 8:31; 10:12-13; Numbers 18:9-11; and those to be eaten by the people, in Leviticus 19:5-6; Deuteronomy 12:27; 27:7; and elsewhere. And that those who were unclean were not to eat of them is referred to in Leviticus 7:19-21; 22:4-7. These ritual feasts took place in a holy place near the altar, either at the gate or in the court outside the tent. And they meant nothing else than the communication, conjunction, and making of celestial goods one's own, for those feasts represented celestial food. For what celestial food is, see 56-58, 680, 681, 1480, 1695. And all those consecrated elements were called 'bread', for the meaning of which see above in 2165. Something similar was represented by Aaron and his sons eating the loaves of the presence, or the shewbread, in a holy place, Leviticus 24:9.

[2] The reason for the law given to the Nazirite that during the days of his Naziriteship he was forbidden to eat anything that is produced from the grape - from which wine is made - from pips even to skin, Numbers 6:4, is that the Nazirite represented the celestial man, and the celestial man is such as is not willing even to mention spiritual things, see Volume One, in 202, 337, 880 (end), 1647. And because 'wine' and 'the grape', and also whatever came from the grape, meant that which is spiritual, the Nazirite was therefore forbidden to eat of them, that is, to have any communication with spiritual things, to join himself to them, or to make them his own.

[3] Something similar is meant by 'eating' in Isaiah,

Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters, and he who has no money, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend money on that which is not bread, and your labour on that which does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to Me and eat what is good, and your soul will delight itself in fatness. Isaiah 55:1-2.

And also what is said in John,

To him who conquers I will grant to eat from the tree of life which is in the middle of the Paradise of God. Revelation 2:7.

'The tree of life' is the celestial itself, and in the highest sense it is the Lord Himself since He is the source of everything celestial, that is, of all love and charity. Thus 'eating from the tree of life' is the same as feeding on the Lord; and 'feeding on the Lord' is being endowed with love and charity, thus with those things that belong to heavenly life, as the Lord Himself declares in John,

I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread he will live for ever. He who feeds on Me will live through Me. John 6:51, 57. But they said, This is a hard saying. Jesus said however, The words that I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life. John 6:60, 63.

From this it is evident what is meant by 'eating' in the Holy Supper, Matthew 26:26-28; Mark 14:22-23; Luke 22:19-20 - having communication, being joined together, and making one's own.

[4] From this it is also plain what is meant by the Lord's statement that

Many will come from the east and from the west and will recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Matthew 8:11.

The Lord did not mean that they were going to feast with these three in the kingdom of God but that they were to enjoy the celestial goods meant by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. That is to say, they were to enjoy the inmost celestial goods of love, meant by -Abraham'; also a lower type of goods, which are intermediate, as those are which belong to the rational, meant by 'Isaac'; and a still lower type of goods which are celestial-natural, such as occur in the first heaven, meant by 'Jacob'. These are the things which constitute the internal sense of these words. That such things are meant by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, see 1893, and wherever else they are the subject. For whether one speaks of enjoying those celestial things, or whether one speaks of enjoying the Lord, whom they represent, it amounts to the same since the Lord is the source of all those things, and the Lord is their All in all.
